Cute place!

Nicely decorated, very comfortable and everything seemed new. Plenty of games and throws for cool nights. Screened in patio, with plants, that we didn’t take advantage of as it was cold. A block from the beach, which was great, and we walked to the pier and enjoyed a scrumptious dinner. Our hosts were very friendly and made some excellent suggestions for entertainment and dining. The area was quite walkable for restaurants and a brewery. I’d definitely recommend this and for sure we’ll stay here again.

Great experience!

Our stay at Cake by the Ocean was just wonderful! Marcia and Chris were great hosts, and we especially enjoyed the personal touches like the fresh flowers and yummy cupcakes waiting for us upon our arrival. We would definitely visit again and highly recommended these accommodations just a short walk from the beach.

Perfect place for a short family trip

We had a great time staying at Cake by the Ocean. The small conveniences that were there for us to use, made a big impact on our trip. Our girls were thrilled to have small little gifts waiting for them on their beds, and the cupcakes and flowers awaiting us, really made us feel special. The location was perfect. Just a short walk to the beach and several restaurants as well.

Fantastic Spring Break Getaway!

We had a great time during our stay. The apartment is clean and cozy and the hosts are just the best. They did some extra things to make us feel especially welcome. Easy walk or bike to the beach and eating establishments. Oak Island is a nice relaxing beach! Make an appointment to climb the lighthouse - great experience! Thank you for the hospitality.

Exactly as advertised

What is listed and what is included in the reviews is spot on. This is a great property that is close to the beach. Almost anything you need for your stay was included - kitchen, towels, beach gear (including umbrellas and wagon which were a huge plus for us), quality TV selections, soap, shampoo.....the list goes on and on. The cupcakes and flowers were such a nice touch. We definitely look forward to staying here again on future visits to the island.

This spot was the perfect getaway! I was able to walk to the beach everyday, cook for myself, and easily access restaurants nearby. The space was cozy and extremely clean, and Chris and Marcia were excellent hosts. They were very accommodating and made sure I had what I needed! I look forward to going back!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I've lived in North Carolina for the last 40 years and my wife is a native. We moved to Oak Island 5 years ago after vacationing primarily at Pawley's Island over the years. BUT, once we found Oak Island we knew we had to move here. We love this 1973 brick home. We even moved from our big, piling house near the intercostal to move to Yaupon Beach because of the vibe.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, etc. :>) This cozy lower floor unit is conveniently located close to everything in Yaupon Beach. Koko Cabana and the the pier and The Lazy Turtle are right down the road to the left - no major roads to cross. Walking in the other direction there's Thomas’ Drug Store, Island Jo's and Shagger Jacks.

We love the area so much we live in the unit upstairs - but each unit is separate with no connection between them.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
